Newton's somber prediction was unearthed as part of a BBC documentary, "Newton:The Dark Heretic." In a statement promoting the program to be aired on March 1, the BBC said it will show a handwritten Newton document predicting the end of the world in 2060, according to calculations he made based on the Bible. The BBC said the document was found in a Newton collection in the Jewish National library in Jerusalem." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
